Abstract
Methods of using and fabricating voltage-dependent color-tunable OLED devices using single platinum emitters are described herein. The platinum emitter may be a pt (ii) complex. The single platinum emitter is mixed with the host material in the emissive layer of the OLED device. The emissive layer may comprise a single high concentration emitter or may comprise two sublayers, one with a low emitter concentration to produce monomer emission and the other with a high emitter concentration to produce excimer emission. When a voltage is applied to the OLED, the device emits a different color. Also disclosed herein are devices comprising platinum emitters and methods of making and using platinum emitters.
Description
Cross Reference to Related Applications
This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional application No. 62/534,417 filed on 2018, 7/19, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
Technical Field
The disclosed invention is generally in the field of Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs). More specifically, methods of using and making voltage-dependent color-tunable OLED devices using single platinum emitters are described herein. Also disclosed herein are devices comprising such platinum emitters.
Background
The use of white light emitting materials in lighting and displays has attracted considerable attention. In particular, white light may be generated by organic light emitting diodes ("OLEDs"), which are solid state thin film devices consisting of stacked organic layers sandwiched between two electrodes. Light is generated in an electroluminescent layer comprising an emitter, such as a metal complex or a polymer. White light emission can be obtained by: by mixing the three primary colors (i.e., red, green, and blue) or two complementary colors from different emitters disposed within an emissive layer, or by constructing a device structure with multiple emissive layers, or by constructing two or more sub-OLEDs that are combined together.
However, the use of two or more emitters or three or more emissive layers or two or more sub-OLEDs has a number of disadvantages. First, each additional OLED assembly or subassembly adds to the complexity and cost of the OLED. Furthermore, at typical luminance of OLED illumination (i.e., 1000-2) Such an arrangement, in turn, suffers from strong roll-off (run-off), low external quantum efficiency ("EQE"), high drive voltage, and low color rendering index ("CRI") of between 40-70 CRI (due to narrow emission band). The currently used methods for color tunable white OLEDs cannot reach over 20,000cd/m2The maximum brightness of (c).
The present disclosure is provided to address these and other problems.

Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED)
The present disclosure describes platinum emitter (pt (ii) compounds) for use in voltage-driven, color-tunable OLEDs, the OLED devices themselves, and methods of making and using such pt (ii) emitter OLED devices. In one aspect, an OLED device employs a single emitter as described herein to generate light. Single emitter OLEDs simplify device structures and reduce manufacturing costs compared to multi-emitter OLEDs or more complex OLEDs, such as those incorporating two or more sub-OLEDs. In one or more embodiments described herein, emitters are provided whose emission wavelength is varied in response to tuning a drive voltage or current to achieve a desired color or color temperature. When a voltage is applied, the OLED produces varying monomer emission (e.g., 480-530nm) and excimer emission (e.g., 600-650nm) to produce light having wavelengths along the visible spectrum (e.g., about 480-800 nm). By varying the drive voltage or current, the ratio of emitter monomer emission to excimer emission can be varied to produce different colors. Fig. 1 shows the photoluminescence characteristics of an exemplary OLED device, and in particular, it shows monomeric and excimer ("aggregate state emission") emission peaks across the visible spectrum. Here, the monomer emission peak is at about 510nm, while the excimer emission peak is at about 625 nm.
The emitter and OLED devices described herein advantageously provide light emission characteristics suitable for use in typical OLED device applications. The OLED device as described herein includes a response rate between 1 μ s and 1ms, and can function at voltages as low as 2.4V. In one or more embodiments, the OLED device produces 5000cd/m at voltages as low as 5V2Or higher brightness. In one or more embodiments, the OLED device achieves an EQE greater than 10%, 15%, 20%, or more. Further, the OLED devices described herein can produce Color Rendering Index (CRI) values of 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95 or higher using the single platinum emitters described herein.
These characteristics are improved compared to conventional multi-emitter or non-voltage tunable OLED devices. For example, the conventional method is at 1000cd/m2-5000cd/m2With a strong efficiency roll-off and a low EQE at luminance values in between, which is a common luminance value in the art. Furthermore, existing single emitter OLED devices cannot achieve CRI values above 80 without relying on multiple emitters.
It is important to note that the platinum emitters described herein do not employ various conventional color tuning strategies. For example, the emitter does not tune color according to doping concentration (i.e., change the concentration of polar dopant molecules in the emissive layer or host material). The OLED devices described herein do not employ P-I-N doped layers as known in the art. The hole transport layer is not p-doped and the electron transport layer is not n-doped.
Furthermore, to produce a certain color, the OLEDs described herein do not use a multiple OLED arrangement of the following array: each OLED in the array is specifically tuned such that the average of the colors produces the desired color. In addition, the OLEDs herein do not rely on fluorescent molecules inserted into phosphorescent complexes, some ligands that fine tune the emission color, or ligands that capture carriers (carriers). In contrast, the voltage dependent color tunable nature of OLEDs avoids the use of these approaches.
Notably, the OLED devices described herein also do not include a carrier blocking layer or a hole blocking layer disposed between adjacent emissive layers to provide color tunable functionality. In one or more embodiments, the OLED devices described herein include a single emissive layer and a co-host (co-host) mixture is utilized in the emissive layer. In one or more embodiments, the OLED devices described herein include an emissive layer that can be divided into two sub-emissive layers. In the first sub-emissive layer, the emitter and host mixture is selected to produce a monomer emission as the primary emission. In the second sub-emissive layer, the emitter and host mixture is selected to produce excimer or aggregate state emission as the dominant emission.
Referring now to FIG. 2, as a non-limiting example, a color tunable OLED structure 100 with a single emitter as in one or more embodiments described herein is shown. Methods of manufacturing OLEDs are known. The OLED 100 includes a pair of electrodes corresponding to an anode 105 and a cathode 110, which sandwich a plurality of semiconductor layers between the two electrodes, which cause electroluminescence when a voltage is applied to the OLED. The anode 105 and cathode 110 include metallic materials for electrical conduction, such as the following non-limiting examples: aluminum, gold, magnesium or barium for the cathode, and indium tin oxide ("ITO") for the anode. The anode 105 and cathode 110 may have a thickness between 100-200 nm. In one or more embodiments, the anode 105 is further placed on top of a suitable substrate 112. The substrate 112 emits light generated by the OLED 100 and is generally made of a transparent material. For example, the substrate 112 may be made of glass or a transparent polymer.
A hole injection layer ("HIL") 115 and a hole transport layer ("HTL") 120 are stacked on top of the anode 105. These layers play a role in adjusting electron/hole injection to achieve transport balance of charge carriers in the emissive layer 125 of the OLED 100. In one or more embodiments, HIL115 has a thickness between 1-10nmAnd (4) degree. In one or more embodiments, the HTL 115 has a thickness between 30-80 nm. The materials of the HIL115 and HTL 120 are selected to maximize OLED efficiency. As some non-limiting examples, the HIL115 may comprise molybdenum trioxide ("MoO3") or hexaazatriphenylenehexacyano (" HAT-CN "), and the HTL 120 may comprise tris (4-carbazol-9-ylphenyl) amine (" TcTa "), N '-bis (1-naphthyl) -N, N' -diphenyl- (1,1 '-biphenyl) -4, 4' -diamine (" NPB "), or bis-4-tolylaminophenylcyclohexane (" TAPC "). In one or more embodiments, the HTL 120 includes two complementary sublayers. For example, a first sub-layer of the HTL 120 may include deposited TAPC or NPD, while a second sub-layer may include deposited TcTa. Exemplary compound structures deposited in the HIL115 and HTL 120 are shown below.
Other suitable HIL and/or HTL materials may be used, as known in the art.
An emissive layer 125 is disposed on top of the HTL 120. In one or more embodiments, the emissive layer 125 is between 10-30nm thick. In one or more embodiments, emissive layer 125 comprises one or more host materials mixed with an emitter formed from a compound described herein, examples of which are:
the host material may be formed from a single host (i.e., one host mixed with the emitter) or may be formed as a joint host mixture (i.e., two hosts mixed with the emitter). The emitters are added to the host material in a percentage of the total weight. When a voltage is applied to the emission layer 125, the single emitter emits light.
In one or more embodiments, the emissive layer 125 employs a single layer structure that combines host mixtures (e.g., two host materials and an emitter). In other embodiments, emissive layer 125 is two separate sub-emissive layers, where the emitters are mixed with one or more hosts in each sub-layer ("dual EML"). For example, the emissive layer 125 may be a single-host dual EML, where a first host is mixed with the emitter in a first sub-emissive layer and a second host is mixed with the emitter in a second sub-emissive layer. The first body may be the same or different from the second body. In other embodiments, the emissive layer 125 is a joint host dual EML structure, where a first sub-layer includes two host materials mixed with the emitter and a second sub-layer includes two host materials also mixed with the emitter. The joint host material in the first and second sub-layers may be the same or different. In still other embodiments, emissive layer 125 is arranged as a hybrid single/combined host dual EML. For example, the first sublayer may include a first host mixed with the emitter, and the second sublayer may include a second host and a third host mixed with the emitter as a joint host. The first, second and third bodies may be made of the same or different materials. As for the emission layer 125, more than one emitter may be used as needed, regardless of whether the emission layer is formed of a single layer or separate sub-emission layers.
As some non-limiting examples, the host material may be TcTa, 1, 3-bis (N-carbazolyl) benzene ("MCP"), 4, 6-bis (3, 5-di-3-pyridylphenyl) -2-methylpyrimidine ("B3 PymPm"), or 2, 6-bis (3- (9H-carbazol-9-yl) phenyl) pyridine ("26 Dczppy"). Other suitable host materials may be used, as known in the art. In some embodiments, emissive layer 125 is a single layer structure comprising one or more hosts (as described above) and X% of one or more composite emitters (e.g., Pt-X-1 to Pt-X-6) by weight of the hosts contained therein, where X is between 2% and 30%, 2% and 25%, 2% and 20%, or 2% and 15%. In some other embodiments, emissive layer 125 is formed from individual sub-emissive layers, each of which independently comprises one or more hosts as described above and one or more composite emitters (e.g., Pt-X-1 to Pt-X-6) in an amount of X% by weight of the hosts contained therein, wherein X is between 2% and 30%, 2% and 25%, 2% and 20%, or 2% and 15%. In particular embodiments, emissive layer 125 is a combined host monolayer structure comprising TcTa and B3 PymPxm as a combined host and X% of a composite emitter (e.g., Pt-X-3 or Pt-X-5) by weight of the host, where X is between 2% to 30%, 2% to 25%, 2% to 20%, or 2% to 15%.
An electron transport layer ("ETL") 130 and an electron injection layer ("EIL") 135 are disposed on top of the emission layer 125 and below the cathode 110. These layers provide high electron affinity and high electron mobility to the OLED 100 to allow electrons to flow through the various OLED layers. In one or more embodiments, the ETL 130 has a thickness of 30-80 nm. In one or more embodiments, the EIL 135 has a thickness of 1-5 nm. In one or more embodiments, additional electron transport materials are added to the ETL 130 and ETL 135 to facilitate electron emission. The materials used for the ETL 130 and the EIL 135 are selected to maximize OLED efficiency. As some non-limiting examples, the ETL 130 may comprise B3PymPm, 1,3, 5-tris (m-pyridin-3-ylphenyl) benzene ("tmpyppb"), 2,4, 6-tris [3'- (pyridin-3-yl) biphenyl-3-yl ] -1,3, 5-triazine ("tmppppytz"), or 2, 2', 2 "- (1,3, 5-benzenetriyl) -tris (1-phenyl-1-H-benzimidazole) (" TPBi "). As some non-limiting examples, EIL 135 may comprise LiF, lithium 8-hydroxy-quinoline ("Liq"), Cs, or CsF.
Other suitable EIL and/or ETL materials may be used, as known in the art.
Metal complex emitters
In one or more embodiments, the emitters used as dopants in the emissive layer 125 described above are metal composites having a square planar chemistry. For example, the metal complex is a platinum (II) complex. Platinum complexes are preferred because they have a rigid ligand backbone with multidentate chelates to minimize structural distortion upon excitation, have extended ligand pi-conjugation, have strong delta-donation (e.g., O-N ^ C ^ N with deprotonated C donors) to ensure strong metal-ligand interactions, and have high metal characteristics or charge transfer participation in the emission state (i.e., short emission lifetime of the emitter). In one or more embodiments, the emitter is a compound having the structure form of Pt (O ^ N ^ C ^ N).
As indicated above, specific embodiments of platinum emitters suitable for use as single emitters in OLED devices as described herein are shown. Pt-X-1, Pt-X-2, Pt-X-3, Pt-X-4, Pt-X-5, and Pt-X-6 may each be mixed with one or more host materials in an emissive layer (e.g., emissive layer 125). In each emitter Pt-X-1, Pt-X-2, Pt-X-3, Pt-X-4, Pt-X-5, and Pt-X-6, the emitter includes an N ^ C ^ N ligand and incorporates an additional phenol/indenyl moiety into an N ^ C ^ N main frame (mainframe). The strong ligand field presence is generated by two strong sigma donations (O-donor and C-donor). This results in strong metal-ligand interactions and provides strong emission characteristics. Minor structural deformation is also desirable, which is a rigid structure imposed by the fused 6-5-membered metallocycle compound.
The Pt-X-1, Pt-X-2, Pt-X-3, Pt-X-4, Pt-X-5, and Pt-X-6 emitters are all platinum complexes (Pt (II)).

Voltage-dependent color tunability of OLEDs
In one aspect, the emitters described herein are voltage-dependent tunable emitters, and utilize different states of a single emitter to produce different colors of light across the visible spectrum. The compounds herein produce white light by applying a voltage to produce complementary monomer and aggregate (e.g., excimer) emissions upon excitation. This balance results in high photoluminescence quantum yield and shorter emission lifetimes (approximately 100ns to 10 μ s), leading to high CRI and yielding efficient OLED illumination. In one or more embodiments, the devices described herein may additionally utilize dual host doping or dual emissive layers to greatly increase the color tuning range, increase brightness: (brightness)>80,000cd/m2) And suppress the efficiency roll-off at high luminance (from 1000 cd/m)2To 5000cd/m2)). Dual-host doping (or joint host doping) refers to the addition of a complex dopant to a dual-host mixture in a single emissive layer.
Monomer emission and excimer emission can be amplified or suppressed by constructing the emission layers with different emitter doping concentrations. For example, at low doping concentrations (e.g., 2-6% by weight of the emissive layer), the monomer emission dominates and results in an OLED device that is more color stable at 480-530nm wavelength when it is voltage tuned. At higher doping concentrations (e.g., 15 to 30 wt% of the emissive layer, and more particularly, between 20 to 25 wt%), excimer emission dominates and the OLED device is more color stable at 600-700 nm. By employing dual EMLs, the OLED device can be extended to the entire visible spectral range.
In one aspect, a method is provided for fabricating a voltage-dependent color tunable OLED device having a single emitter to produce white light. To form white light, OLED devices combine the emissions from two sources in a single emitter. In some embodiments, a single emitter produces emission from both a monomeric state and an excimer state. In other embodiments, the single emitter includes additional host materials to facilitate emission from the monomer state and the excited complex state. In other embodiments, a single emitter produces both high-energy fluorescence at 450nm to 550nm and low-energy phosphorescence at 560nm to 700nm at different drive voltages or currents.
Next, the method applies a low voltage of 2.4V to 6V to the emitter to generate emission from one of the two emission sources. For example, at low voltages, the emission is dominated by low energy excimer emission, excited complex emission, or phosphorescent emission, depending on the implementation. At low voltages, OLED devices emit predominantly light of longer wavelengths in the visible spectrum, such as red or orange light. However, as the driving voltage is increased from 6V to 12V, the emission (emissions) emits a large amount of light and/or fluorescence in a high-energy monomer state. The more the voltage is increased, the more dominant the high-energy emission is with respect to the low-energy emission, and as a result the shorter the wavelength of the emitted light. For example, at a voltage of 3V, the OLED device produces a wavelength of 650nm, and at a voltage of 8V, the OLED device produces a wavelength of 515 nm. In this way, the emission state of a single emitter can be changed by changing the level of the driving voltage, thereby tuning the OLED to a different color.
In one or more embodiments, the EQE ranges between 15-20% or 20-25%. This is advantageous because the EQE of conventional color tunable OLED emitters is typically less than 15%. In one or more embodiments, the low efficiency roll-off is at 1000-2Within the range of (1).
Examples
The following are examples illustrating embodiments for practicing the disclosure described herein. These examples should not be construed as limiting. These embodiments are performed using an OLED device having multiple layers, compositions, and materials as in OLED 100, where the platinum composite used as the emitter is 2% to 30% by weight of the emissive layer. Each OLED includes an anode 105, a cathode 110, a HIL115, a HTL 120, an ETL 130, and an EIL 135 as described herein. The emissive layer of each device varies from emitter to emitter and host material to produce different voltage-dependent color tunable OLED devices.
For devices with low emitter concentrations (4 wt%), only monomer emission occurs, and therefore the emitter color stabilizes as the voltage increases. FIG. 4 shows an exemplary color-stable emission spectrum of a Pt-X-2 emitter doped with a 4 wt% OLED when the voltage is increased from 3V to 14V in 1V increments. It can be seen that the intensity peaks around 520nm regardless of the voltage and then drops. This clear peak is generated because each pt (ii) molecule is separated by the host by using a low emitter doping concentration of 4 wt%. Then, the interaction between Pt (ii) molecules is weak, and the Pt emitter generates only monomer in the emission layer, so that only monomer emission can be observed over the entire driving voltage range (e.g., 3V to 10V). Thus, the OLED device can be said to be color stable. The experiments described are consistent with this color stability performance.
Pt-X-5 based OLEDs
a. Experiment 1
In a first example, the compound Pt-X-5 was prepared as an emitter in 6 OLED devices as described herein, each device having a different emissive layer. The OLED device was constructed according to the following structure: ITO anode, 100nm aluminum cathode, 2nmMoO3A HIL layer, a 50nm TAPCHTL layer, an additional 10nm TcTa HTL layer, a 50nm B3 PymPmETL layer, and a 1.2nm LiF EIL layer. The emissive layer of each of the 6 devices was then prepared using TcTa and B3PymPm as host materials. 5 of the OLED devices were fabricated as dual EMLs, and one was fabricated with a single emissive layer. Table 1 below shows the different amounts of emitter by weight. For example, device 1 has 4% Pt-X-5 compared to TcTa and 18% Pt-X-5 compared to B3 PymPmm.
TABLE 1
A voltage was then applied to each device and the emission intensity and wavelength were observed as the voltage was varied between 3V and 8V in 0.5V increments. The variation of the emission spectra of each of the 6 devices is shown in fig. 5 and shows how the intensity as a function of wavelength varies with voltage. For example, at low voltages (e.g., 2.5V-4V), the intensity peak is approximately 640nm-700nm, which corresponds to red light. However, at high voltages (e.g., 6V-8V), the intensity peaks at about 500-550nm, which corresponds to blue, green, and yellow light, respectively. Thus, the OLED device produces different colors with voltage.
Table 1 also illustrates information about: emission layer composition, EQE%, maximum power efficiency, maximum luminance, minimum voltage to start OLED emission (yield 1 cd/m)2"turn-on voltage"), and colors according to the x, y coordinate system of the International Commission Illumination (CIE). It can be seen that each of the 6 devices is for over 1000cd/m2Maintains an EQE% greater than 15% and includes a CRI in excess of 90. This is in contrast to conventional color tunable OLED devices, which are more than 1000cd/m2It is impossible to maintain an EQE of more than 15% and the CRI of its best device is no greater than 70, typically in the range of 40-70.
b. Experiment 2
In a second example, Pt-X-5 emitters were used to make a dual EML OLED device. The OLED device was constructed according to the following structure: ITO anode, 100nm aluminum cathode, 2nm MoO3A HIL layer, a 50nm TAPC HTL layer, an additional 10nm TcTaHTL layer, a 50nm TmPyPB ETL layer, and a 1.2nm LiF EIL layer. The dual EML consists of a 10nm first sublayer of TcTa mixed with 4 wt% Pt-X-5 and a 10nm second sublayer of 26Dczppy mixed with 20 wt% Pt-X-5. The voltage was then raised from 5V to 17V in 2V increments. The spectrum of the OLED device and the OLED device efficiency versus brightness when the voltage is tuned are shown in fig. 6. The performance of the OLED device during this experiment is shown in table 2 below.

A third experiment was performed in which 6 additional OLED devices were constructed using a single emitter in the form of the compound Pt-X-3. The OLED device in this example was constructed in the following structure: ITO anode, 100nm aluminum cathode, 2nm MoO3A HIL layer, a 50nm TAPC HTL layer, an additional 10nm TcTa HTL layer, a 50nm B3 PymPmETL layer, and a 1.2nm LiFeIL layer. These 6 OLED devices were fabricated using Pt-X-3 as the single emitter, which Pt-X-3 was mixed with TcTa and B3 PymPmm as the combined host materials. In this experiment, each of the 6 units contained Pt-X-3 of different weight composition, as shown in Table 3 below. Device 1 is a color-stable OLED device (as shown in fig. 4) used as a reference; however, each of the remaining devices is voltage-dependent color tunable. Each of the 6 devices contains a single emissive layer, which is a dual EML, differing only by device 4. In the first sub-emissive layer of device 4, the Pt-X-3 emitter is 4 wt% compared to TcTa. In the second sub-emitter layer, the Pt-X-3 emitter was 18 wt% compared to the B3 PymPym. Then, the voltage was varied between 3V and 10V in 1V increments, and the intensity was observed. A plot of EQE%, power efficiency and emission spectra for different devices is shown in fig. 7.

The dual EML consists of a 10nm first sublayer mixed with 4 wt% of the combined body TcTa and B3 PymPxm of Pt-X-2 and a 10nm second sublayer mixed with 25 wt% of the combined body TcTa and B3 PymPxm of Pt-X-2. The voltage was then changed from 3V to 10V in 1V increments. The spectrum of the OLED device and the OLED device efficiency versus brightness when the voltage is tuned are shown in fig. 9.
